Maid

Fucking heartbreaking. Such sensitive topics handled so well. I cried like 5 times. This is the exact series to show someone who doesn’t get why abused women don’t just leave their abuser. Seeing all the shit Alex had to crawl through, all kinds of abuse she had to endure for her daughter to have a different life was inspirational. This had a “happy” ending because it needed to for the enjoyment of the viewers, but the show also makes great examples that most of these women don’t get that. Either they don’t have money, support systems, are emotionally so beat down that they don’t have the strength or all of these. It’s just fucking heartbreaking. Amazing writing and acting and I liked how it was all from Alex’s perspective even some of her thoughts or feelings were portrayed visually which I thought was great in this case.
